[In-Depth Comparison] How Much Difference Does It Make to Use a Face Mask Before Applying Makeup vs. Not Using One!

[Thorough Comparison] How Much Does It Change When You "Do" vs "Don't Do" a Pack Before Makeup!

Morning makeup, even though you use the same foundation, shine and creasing become noticeable by the afternoon... Such concerns can be almost resolved with a "pre-makeup pack." The key points are ① moisture level ② adhesion ③ light diffusion. Skin that has been packed is filled with moisture in the stratum corneum, allowing the foundation to spread evenly in a thin layer, making it less likely for excess sebum to appear, resulting in a finish with a transparency that feels like it's -3℃ cooler. On the other hand, skin that has not been treated tends to have foundation applied thickly to fill in dryness, leading to noticeable pores and flaking, and it was found through experiments that it becomes more prone to breaking down over time.

▼Benefits of Using a Pack

▼Correct "Pre-Makeup Pack" 3 Steps

1) Immediately after washing your face, apply a sheet mask for 3-5 minutes. Long duration can cause dryness!

2) After removing, press with both hands and blend the remaining serum down to the neck.

3) Lightly blot with tissue to smooth the surface before applying primer.

▼Packs to Choose

Choose a "high adhesion, quick-drying" type labeled for morning use. If it contains Vitamin C and Niacinamide, it can also care for dullness, completing the "glossy film skin" that's trending on social media.

▼Before and After Experiment Results

A test was conducted with 10 in-house monitors from 8 AM to 8 PM. The group with packs had an average breakdown start time of 6 hours later, while the group without packs started after 3 hours. The evening glow rating was significantly different at 4.6 vs 2.1 out of 5 points. The amount of cosmetics used for touch-ups was also halved, proving to be excellent in terms of cost performance.

▼Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I do it every day even on busy mornings?

A: Three times a week is enough for a significant effect. However, it is essential before special shoots or events.

Q: Is it necessary for skin types other than dry skin?

A: The more oily the skin, the more replenishing moisture to improve barrier function directly prevents breakdown.

Conclusion: Whether or not to use a pack makes a difference as significant as a "plump, glossy skin that looks great in photos" versus a "matte skin that breaks down by the afternoon." With just a 5-minute investment a day, you can achieve long-lasting makeup and elevate your skin.
